Joy-Riding in Wallingford

  • Post author:

Rob Ketcherside and Seattlest has some interesting facts on the 45th Street Clinic, which was originally a police precinct and fire station. Hop over to Seattlest to learn more, including the reason behind Fire Chief Stetson’s quote to City Councilman Goddard in 1912:

“Just what is your definition of a joy-rider? I don’t get drunk and I am not a drinking man. I will show you whether I am a joy-rider or not.”

Alrighty then!
